Understand the stone

Gem material
Chrysoberyl when identified as chrysoberyl cat’s-eye
Mohs hardness
8.5 for chrysoberyl

Scratch resistance, not a measure of resistance to breaking.

Colour & appearance

A bright band moves over a cabochon under a single light source.

Ring or pendant?

A cabochon ring or pendant can display the moving eye. Ask for a short actual-stone video and mineral identification, since other species also show this effect.

These describe the gem variety. The actual stone’s identity, condition and treatment are confirmed separately.

A closer look at Cat's Eye

About the gemstone

Cat’s-eye describes an optical band of light called chatoyancy. Chrysoberyl cat’s-eye is distinct from other gems with a similar effect.

Care & keeping

Use a soft cloth and gentle cleaning; care depends on the actual gem species. Avoid impacts and harsh chemicals.

Before you buy

Ask which mineral the stone is, how clearly its eye moves under light, and whether it is natural or treated.

How do I choose the right weight and setting?

Choose a comfortable size for your hand or pendant, within your budget. Ask for the stone’s weight in carats, its dimensions and a separate setting quote. For planetary use, discuss your birth details and preferred wearing tradition with Parina rather than using a universal weight formula.

What should I send when enquiring?

Tell us your budget, preferred ring or pendant design and whether the stone is for jewellery or planetary practice. Request actual photos or a video, weight, treatment details, available laboratory documentation and final price before deciding.

Lahsuniya bija mantra

ॐ स्रां स्रीं स्रौं सः केतवे नमः

Oṃ srāṃ srīṃ srauṃ saḥ ketave namaḥ

Reflective intention: Inner reflection, simplicity and spiritual enquiry.

A meaningful first wearing

Place the jewellery on a clean cloth, sit quietly and set an intention. Recite at a comfortable pace, then close with gratitude. Use the gemstone’s own care instructions rather than soaking it in ritual mixtures.

Common traditional form; pronunciation and rites vary. Discuss formal practice with your teacher or Parina.
